Got Him q Bride.

Geo. Noerr, pioneer artist in this
place, who years ago worked for III.
Meininger, of Mt. Eden, and later
for H. Smyth, has become celebrated
since then, having spent number
of years at Munich, Germany, and
returned not long ago master of his
profession. He is now at Spokane
Falls, Washington territory, taking
sketches for Harper's Weekly. He
visited his old. friends at San Loren
70, prior to his departure. There
has always been a sort of brotherly
affection existing between Fred
Decker and Mr.. Noerr, and when
our deputy postmaster heard where
Noerr was going bright idea struck
him. 1t has been a mystery to
Decker's friends why he has not Sc
lected some palefaced maiden for a
life-companion, for he is whole
souled fellow and as modest as he is
brave and gallant. But it seems
that he has all along had fondness
for the dusky maidens of the forest.
So taking Noerr aside he whispered:
George, If you find lonesome
maiden of the forest on your travels,
send me word" George replied that
he would. 1t seems that Noerr
wrote once to Fred but received no
answer. So this week a letter came
to Henry Dopman from Noerr, in
which was crayon picture of three
lovely maidens of the forest-one a
widow, perched On Washoe canary,
another trifle younger and the re-
naming one just out OF her teens.
/ NOarr afatas that ho hod IN hriba III a
dusky beauties with brass buttons
and ginger snaps to get them to pose
before him. These likenesses of the
Spokane maidens or squaws are
much better than the average pic
lures, and NOerr requests Dopman to
hand the group to Decker, 30 he can
take his pick, and when he has made
his selection, to notify him and the
beauty will very likely be shipped

the major is not boy now, but he

America IL not In the world, and
gives performance on the drum
that has never been equaled. He
COMES endorsed by the public and

everywhere he has been met with

come him to our midst again. With
sentiments Of great respect and hon.

Azicarate and Jose Bussecco, Spanish
students whom the Epaso kilograms of

trouble in Paso Del Norte, were seen

deny there was eyer man by the name
OF Bird connected with their company.
They were in Jail at Del Norte but an
hour or two and none of their troupe
ever died of small pox or was ever
sick of the disease. They are of the
opinion that the report and the bulle-
tins sent to Ell Paso are the work of
some mischievous person who is at

Slight mention has already been
made through the columns Of our
city papers of the illustrative lectures
to be given at Concordia Hall on the
2lst and 23d, next Thursday and
Saturday evening. The lectures on
"The Great Composers" Haydn and
Handel will be delivered by Rev.
c. w. Wendte, secretary Of the
American Unitarian Association,
formerly of Cincinnati, now a resi-
dent OF Oakland, Cal. The music
illustrating each lecture will be rem
dered by the talent of our city, and
will be given by double quartet. q
full chorus, numbering fifty, and the
Spokane orchestra, besides several
choice solos. Rev. G. w. Wendte is
highly spoken Of as lecturer by all
who have had the privilege of listen
ing to him. In regard to his ability
the Cincinnati Commercial says:
"Mr. Wendte has proved that he pos
sesses in an eminent degree all the
quail fica tions of most entertaining
lecturer. His voice Is not only re-
sonant and penetrating in quality,
but possesses those even sympathetic
tones that make 1t particularly eff
cient in giving fine descriptions and
in rendering the pathetic portion Of
his discoures. The subject matter of
his lectures is always we'll chosen,
and he possesses the unusual and hap
py faculty of rendering condensed
biographical notice complete one
readily seizing all the salient points
of character as well as chronicling
all the important and influential
events in the life OF the subject cho-
sen."
Following we reproduce from the
Cincinnati Gazette: "Rev. G. w.
Wendte lectured yesterday evening
on George Frederick Handel, the
second lecture Of the course on great
comp Mr.. Wendte has un-
doubtediy struck popular vein.
His lectures are attended by large
audiences, and last night many were
obliged to 60 home for want Of more

this morning. When Mr.. Stanton
came down to open his store he found
the safe open and his D,oney gone.
The store was unoccupied all night
and Mr.. Stanton has been in the habit
Of leaving his money there. The rob-
berry was evidently made with the as
sistance of some one who knew the
combination or by some one slick
enough to pick combination lock.
So far no one is under suspicion and
there is no clue whatever to the per-
petrators OF the crime. Officers are at
work on the robbery and it is hoped
that their efforts will result in the dis
covery of the thieves.
